NOTE 


This  collection,  gathered  years  ago  by  Augustin  Daly 
for  the  adornment  of  his  Theater  and  now  to  be  scat- 
tered forever,  will  awaken  recollections  of  a  varied  sort  in 
the  minds  of  those  who  view  them.  For  many  they  will 
call  up  visions  of  the  theater  of  their  youth  and  recall  the 
voices  that  greet  us  no  longer.  They  will  bring  recollections 
of  an  era  of  the  New  York  stage  whose  splendor,  in  all 
that  goes  to  make  the  theater  an  institution  of  culture,  has 
not  been  surpassed. 

The  collection  includes  not  only  portraits  of  members 
of  the  company  which  Mr.  Daly  kept  together  so  many 
years,  including  Miss  Rehan,  Miss  Davenport,  Miss 
Dreher,  Miss  Kingdon,  Mrs.  Gilbert,  Mr.  Drew,  Mr. 
Fisher,  Mr.  Lewis,  but  also  many  others  conspicuous  in 
the  earlier  history  of  the  stage,  such  as  "  Kitty"  Clive,  Nell 
Gwynn,  Mrs.  Gibber,  Mrs.  Siddons,  Garrick,  Cooke, 
Wallack,  Booth,  Forrest,  Salvini,  Sothern,  Mme.  Janaus- 
chek,  Adelaide  Neilson,  Charlotte  Cushman  and  many 
others  whose  day  is  gone  forever.  Many  of  these  por- 
traits deserve  a  place  in  the  National  Portrait  Gallery 
which,  sooner  or  later  must  be  established,  the  Hall  of 
Fame  in  which  a  nation  records  its  gratitude  toward  its 
favorites.

10     PLAYBILL  OF  THE  OPENING  OF  THE  ROY- 
ALTY THEATER. 

Presenting  "As  You  Like  It"  for  the  benefit  of 
the  London  Hospital,  June  20,  1787.  Large  folio. 
Very  rare. 

The  opening  of  this  Theater  was  attended  by  an  incident  that 
set  London  talking.  Palmer  opened  without  a  license  when  the  city 
magistrate,  on  the  complaint  of  his  rivals  at  Covent  Garden  and 
Drurj'  Lane,  summoned  him  before  the  court.  The  manager  appeared, 
but  pleading  that  he  had  left  his  license  at  home,  left  the  room  and 
quietly  turned  the  key  in  the  lock.  When  the  door  was  broken  open  it 
was  too  late  to  interfere  with  the  performance.  This  theater  was 
burned  twice,  the  last  time  in  1828,  when  known  as  the  Brunswick, 
with  great  loss  of  life. 


11  PLAYBILL    OF    THEATER    ROYAL,    DRURY 

LANE. 
Presenting    "King    Richard    III."   with    Garrick

LANE. 
Presenting   "The   Stranger"   with   Mrs.    Siddons 
and  John  Philip  Kemble  heading  the  cast,  Novem- 
ber 8,  1789.     Large  folio. 

Kemble's  engagement  at  Drury  Lane  lasted  from  1783  to  1802, 
during  which  he  played  one  hundred  and  twenty  characters,  many  of 
which  were  supported  by  his  sister  Mrs.  Siddons.
